See "Foraging behavior of goose barnacles (1)" for details. I observed foraging behavior of a goose barnacle in a petri dish placed over a light box. This individual is small and has very thin plates in its head region. So, you can see the animal inside the head moving along with the movement of its feathery limbs (cirri). (translated by Asoh)
